Matt Choboter's Hypnopompia - Sleep Inertia (2022) [Hi-Res]

Whether emerging from deep sleep, shallow sleep or an afternoon reverie, hypnopompic states can be liminal spaces where things might increasingly become more controlled or cerebral amongst receding personal or collective experiences and sensory distortion. One might encounter mysterious archetypal characters or projections which bring forth disorientation, ambiguity and perhaps illusion.

Beyond the psychological, this music embraces South Asian classical music’s nuanced polyrhythms and extended time cycles, refigured in the context of contemporary creative music, jazz and ambient music.
